One evening, Walter returned home to find Abby overwhelmed by Logan’s cries. Despite her best efforts, the baby continued to cry inconsolably. Walter embraced Abby and sympathetically asked how long this had been going on.

Tearfully, Abby explained that she had tried everything – feeding, changing, bathing – but nothing seemed to bring Logan any relief. The constant crying had taken a toll on both of them, causing immense distress.

In their quest for answers, Walter suggested checking Logan’s crib. To their astonishment, they discovered a dictaphone and a note hidden inside. Walter pressed a button on the dictaphone, and the crying abruptly ceased.

Confused and concerned, Abby asked Walter what he had found. Lost in thought, Walter handed her the note. As she read it aloud, the gravity of the situation hit them like a ton of bricks.

“I warned you that you’d regret being rude to me. If you want to see your baby again, leave $200,000 in the luggage storage lockers near the pier. If you go to the police, you’ll never see him again.”

Abby was shocked and overwhelmed by the note. They wondered who could have kidnapped Logan and why. Walter remembered an incident at the maternity hospital where he had mistreated a janitor. Could it be him?

With a heavy heart, Walter suggested going to the police, hoping they could track down the janitor and bring Logan back safely. Abby hesitated, fearing that involving the police might put their son in even more danger. Despite the risks, they decided to trust the authorities.

As they parked near the police station, Walter’s phone buzzed with a chilling message. It threatened them against involving the police if they wanted to see Logan alive. Left with no other choice, they realized their only hope was to pay the ransom.
